I’m considering buying the 50 % discount oaks advertised at Morse. Specifically the Concordia.

Anyone have any experience with them and their Concordia?

Thanks

For those sizes they offer just buy from MDC. I had several this year that were 3 feet tall for 0.60 each. The fall potted photo is a potted bare root seedling from this spring that my brother never got in the ground. The one in the 5 foot tree tube is one I planted in April 2023.

I second this. Bought about 20 from MDC this past spring and they look real nice.

Concordia ?

Mozark sent me acorns two years ago and they really seem to like my deal.

 

[Teeder]

Yes, Concordia.
I got some from Mozark, too, which look nice.
Concordia isn't a super fast grower for me so far, but I think they'll be fine.
Schuette's and Bebbs are stellar.

Does MDC sell them?

Mozarks are thriving but not outgrowing all of the varieties. But I figure by looking so vibrant they will do fine in the long run.

I bought Bebbs and Steudel here:

Bebb's Oak Seedling

Bebb’s Oak Quercus x bebbiana Bebb’s hybrid oak is a cross between the Bur oak and the White oak. Bebb’s oak is a long lived tree that typically produces acorns at a young age. This hybrid produces large, highly-palatable mast. The Bebb’s oaks we have here in our orchard put on acorns at 4 years...

Schuette's here, but looks like they're sold out.

Schuettes (swamp white x bur) Hybrid (Quercus x schuettei)

Schuettes oak is a hybrid cross between two well rounded oaks in the white oak group- swamp white oak (Q. bicolor) and bur oak (Q. macrocarpa). Both species are known for their cold hardiness, tasty acorns, and the ability to tolerate and thrive on both bottomland and upland sites. This hybrid...

I have some of the Seargent Oaks from Morse that I planted in 2008. They are pretty big now I would say 15-20 feet. I was surprised how fast they grew.

When did they start producing acorns?

Do you know what number?

The seargent # 7 is on sale. But it’s the taller ones in stock

 

[Mike]

They are the #5 and #7. They are in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and it must be due to the late frost I do not get a lot of Acorns on them. Its also a much shorter growing season up there than southern Michigan where I live but I would guess they started producing acorns after ten years. They were tiny little things when I got them but they are way bigger than any of the apple trees I have up there. The deer do not seem to mess with them like they do the apple trees.
